[...] Un destino similar al que próximamente vivirán auténticos templos del fútbol como Anfield o el City Ground de Nottingham. Progreso [...]

I doubt any high profile games would get hosted there, if any – so it wouldn’t really be the world’s best players.. but it’s certainly an appealing idea, not least because if it happened it would deprive either the Sheep or Les-dar of the prestige

The money would be better spent on a player or two.

Sorry, not Simply Red. Bon Jovi! They use to play each year at the Britannia Stadium a while back I seem to remember. Somewhat random but I guess it paid the bills! I suppose Nottingham will be graced with a McFly comeback tour or something.

Simply Red?!
Quite right Kieran, can’t stop progress. Looks like the council are gonna have us out of the CG anyway, so we may as well lease the best stadium we can.
Lets just hope the football matches the ground and facilities. Though nobody can really blame us for fearing the worst given the last 5 years, can they…

Things move on dont they Mattyboy. You couldnt have everyone pushing forwards and sideways against each other as it would be a health and safety risk and as for chanting and singing – well thats hooliganism young man. There’s no place for that kind of noise at a football match. keep it in the churches.
the picture you paint IS real football. But the game is now a show, put on in theatres suitable for corporate entertainment – where the true fans are sitting and ooing and ahhring appropiately. Maybe with a trumpet or a drum for those truely outrageous clubs!
The past is gone. The best we can hope for now is a kick ass stadium that we can be proud of. My hope is that it will retain some character but then what does a bloke in a suit, or a modern day architect know of that. But if the board fancy a nice modern 40,000 seater stadium they had better realise that if they are gonna fill it, Forest will have to play good football with proper decent players.
Roll on the era of building a team to match the grand stadium it will be playing with.
Of course they could also fill it by putting on Simply Red concerts.

While I partly agree with some of the positive spin, (and my kids happen to think its a great idea), I just cant help but think back to the “good ‘ole days” when the away fans used to be crammed in the corner around the floodlight pylon and there would just be a thin fence between us. The banter and atmosphere – especially for night games – was mega. And the Trent End before seats. What an education that was for a young lad. When full, there was no where like it on earth to me. The chanting, singing, pushing forwards and sidewards.
Then we built a nice (and it is) new stand for the away fans to sit in and out-sing us from. And a lovely looking seated area for the trentenders to sit in and have a snooze on a saturday (no chance of getting woken up by the noise).
Yep, I sure am looking forward to the new place.
